Sign in front of chubby durian seller says 'Pls Don't Press', I'm sure it meant not to press the fruit rather than... 😂
Incidentally the large Chinese characters translate literally as cat mountain king, an expensive breed of the durian fruit.

Food, durian, eating

The bitterness weirdly tingled the top of my tongue instead of the back of my tongue and throat. The flesh stuck to my teeth. It was weird. I’m surprised nobody mentioned that part of the durian eating experience so far. Are they all like that? Are there differences in texture and mouthfeel? #durian #durians #ExpatLife #food #foodie

Food, durians

These durians actually didn’t smell so bad. The taste was… sensory-seeking for sure. I’m still trying to figure out the smells, flavours and after flavours I experienced. I had expected the texture to be similar to jackfruit and it was *not*. It’s like custard that has been left out for too long and has formed a skin, with a hint of fibres just to trip you up when you think you are safe.

So I ate durian for the first time, and I gotta ask:
